While Fling are here they will be hosting a CREATIVE VOICE Professional Development Workshop

This workshop is for primary and secondary school teachers, dance teachers, theatre makers and drama lovers.

In this professional development workshop you will learn techniques to help you introduce and teach performance skills to young people. 

You will learn

  • how to communicate a performance idea to young people.

  • how to engage young people in the process of story development.

  • how to use your body in interesting ways to tell a story.

  • best practice for working with young people during performance development.

In this workshop you will be encouraged to discuss your ideas and ask questions. You will also enjoy the opportunity to move your body as we develop and practice new skills.

The workshop, and the entire project, will be facilitated by Gabrielle Rose, Co-Artistic Director of FLING Physical Theatre based in the Bega Valley.
